During restore I get "An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34)"

I'm trying to synch this iPod Touch with our other computer; the first computer crashed. I've tried restoring this Touch with the other computer, but keep getting the error message above.

Hey there,
When i try to load the itunes introduction i only get: an error occured while processing this directive. What can i do!?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Why am getting a "error occurred while restoring from backup" message when restoring using Time Machine?

Hello
I recently made a Bootcamp partition with Windows 7 (which incidentally went absolutely fine). In that partition I wanted to split it for some certain files, but on doing so I appear to have completely tanked my hard drive - I've pretty much wiped the entire thing. I read afterwards that creating new partitions within Windows is a big no no Bootcamp wise, and this wasn't something I knew about before. Lesson learnt!
Either way, I had a backup and though it would be simple enough to restore from that backup, but about 2% in it it pops up "an error has occurred while restoring from backup, please restart and try again". After a few tries, this didn't work, so now I'm worried that my backup is corrupt.
I'm not sure why the backup would be corrupt as this was made with no problems as normal.
I've already tried the standard restore with no success (obviously), and I've also tried re-installing the OS up to the first boot, then trying to restore (thinking that the error was a result of a missing Recovery HD, which the re-install would create) and this was with no success also.
My final idea was to just erase the drive and re-install the OSX, and then when it prompts me, restore the files from the Time Capsule.
Am I onto the right idea, or is there another way around this? I'm just very worried that my backup has become corrupted for some reason and I've lost everything on there.
Specs are:
MacBook Pro Mid 2012 OS X 10.8.5;
Bootcamp 5 (Windows 7);

I'd agree. As long as you've gone this far, I'd probably start from scratch with your MBP, back up any critical files on it, wipe the whole thing, and do a nice clean reinstall.
I'd try to repair the backup drive with disk utilty and then see if you can restore the minimum of essential documents from it to the MBP. If Disk Utility can't fix it there is a small chance that a third party utility like diskwarrior or techtool could repair it. DiskWarrior 4 - The Disk Utility for Mac Disk Repair, Mac Directory Repair, Mac Disk Recovery, Mac Data Recovery or Techtool Pro 7
If you can get your essential documents off the backup drive, then I'd wipe it and put a new time machine backup on it. If that doesn't work, then I'd replace the drive.

Error occurred while restoring from the TimeMachine backup

I have an brand new HD that I want to restore from TimeMachine.
Erased and partitioned this brand new drive. Created 2 partitions and formatted as “OS Extended Journaled/ GUID.”
Did a “Command R recovery boot” and went through the steps to backup from TM to my new HD.
         15 seconds into the restoration process Msg. reads:
“Error occurred while restoring from the backup.
Restart your computer and then try restoring again.”
Trouble shooting:
Luckily my original files and initial boot drive that TM was backing up from remains fine and I performed some more TM back ups as well as a TM backup onto another drive as well.
I even tried restoring to another empty drive with older backups and backups off of another HD and got the same error message.
All my BU’s and BU attempts have been within 10.7.3 on the same MP.
Thank you in advance for any help!!

These are the four hard drives I am using for troubleshooting:
1. Internal new 1TB drive
2. External erased and reformatted 500GB firewire drive
3. Internal original 500GB drive designated for TimeMachine with
~200Gigs of successful backup (Including entire bootdrive)
4. External erased and reformatted 300GB drive that I told
TimeMachine to back up to for testing purposes.
I have only erased and reformatted the first 2 empty drives to use as a future boot drive once I can finally restore from my TimeMachine files to one of them successfully.
My troubles all started when I couldn’t get my cpu to boot from my initial boot drive. That’s what has put me on this track. I have since repaired that boot drive with DiskWarrior to perfect order.
Through a lot of my trouble shooting, I have left that initial boot drive in but have since taken it out. I don’t have lion installed on any other drive. Again, my 2 test drives are empty.
I don’t know how long this old boot drive will remain in perfect order and am glad I have found that I cant use TimeMachine on this side of needing it desperately.
Pondini- Thank you again for hangin' in there with me. I think I understand your last recommendation:
         Do I load a new copy of Lion from this location?:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-lion/id444303913?mt=12&ls=1
The suggestion of “coping the installer” is to have a hard copy like I used to in SnowLeopard etc. for a faster future install?

An error occurred while loading this content apple tv 2

I get "An error occurred while loading this content" when trying to view a rental movie. Not all of them but a few rentals. I wonder why only a few?

Has any other fixes been found. Since I updated to the latest iOS I've been having a similar problem. It doesn't matter what I stream through either. I bought I ATV2 when they first came out and have been using it perfectly fine, however after the last update I haven't been able to stream my movies, tv or even Netflix.
I've also been having issues with my ATV2 connecting to my windows 7 desktop where I store all of my movies and TV shows. I have to deauthorize home sharing and turn it back on for my ATV2 to recognize that it is even on. Frustrating to say the least.

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"

Updated iPad 1 to IOS 5. When trying to restore my iPad from my backup it gets half way through and the iPad reboots and iTunes says "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-1)"
I have tried to restore my contacts and company data at least 20 times and every time half way through THE iPAD REBOOTS! When it boots back up it is at the brand new iPad screen.
This makes me angry as I do not use the iPad for fun and games. I use it for business. My company data and records for the last year are gone. ALL of my out standing customer invoices are gone. ALL payments received are gone! ALL Business contacts and emails ARE GONE! All my company, personal email accounts and settings ARE GONE!
What am I supposed to do now? In 6 hours I have to get on the road and conduct business with a empty blank factory out of the box iPad. How am I supposed to know who owes me money or who has paid their bills Apple? All of my meetings and calendar dates are GONE!
Everything was supposed to be backed up and restored after the update!
Question???WHY DID YOU MAKE THIS UPDATE WIPE OUT ALL SETTINGS AND APPS ON THE iPAD??? All the other updates left everything on the iPad intact and ONLY upgraded the IOS,and when it was done everything was still there.
Yes! I have done everything. Rebooted computer, checked for updates, Hard booted iPad, Factory restored iPad to ios 5 twice, tried every usb port I have, unplugged all other usb components.
Everytime half way through "Restoring iPad from backup..." The iPad turns off shows a spinning circle then shows the Apple logo and takes me to the brand new iPad setup screen.
Apple, you have no idea the level of stress you have created today.....

Check the console app to see if there are any error messages. I had one app showing an issue (Pet Hotel) the error was (truncated):
ERROR: Restore message response: 102 rename error: File name too long (63) at path "/var/mobile/Library/SafeHarbor/com.pocketgems.tappethotel/Container/Documents/ savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHis tory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGa meHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/sa vedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHisto ry/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGame History/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/save dGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory /savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHi story/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedG ameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/s avedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHistory/savedGameHist ory/savedGameHistory/1313349538-pocket_gems_crash_report.txt" (MBErrorDomain/102)
I manually snyc'ed that particular app and then re-ran the restore and am now the proud owner of a working iphone. Not sure it is the same problem or app but looking in the console was the key!

IOS 5 seems to work, but when I connect the ipad to my macbook, i get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What should I do?

iOS 5 seems to work on my ipad, but apparently something went wrong when restoring. I lost music and movies, and when I connect the ipad to my macbook, I get the message that itunes was interrupted when restoring. I try to restore again and I get the message "An error occurred while restoring this iPad (-50)." What happened and what should I do?

I have had the same issue since day 1 of the ios5 installation. I always hit "Cancel" and then the iPad eventually shows up again in iTunes. Then a few hours later, I get the same message again. Annoying, but I've not found a way around it.

Boot from another hard drive or DVD and repair with Disk Utility.

During iOS 5 update&restore, I got this error message "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-50)".

After backing up, iTune was restoring and it showed the error message "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-50)".
I have two iPhones; iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS.
I successfully upgraded my iPhone4 to iOS 5 with iTune on my Window XP. Everything works well.
So, I tried to upgrade my iPhone 3GS as well (with the same iTune on the same computer). After backing up,
iTune was restoring and it showed the error message "An error occurred while restoring this iPhone (-50)".
I tried to unplug and plug the iPhone. but iTune showed the same error when I click "contrinue restore" button.
I think backup file would still exist on my computer and I want to restore them all.
Please help me to fix the problem.
Thanks,

Move to new computer, get "An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc

I tried to move my PE6 install and catalog to a new computer. It was on a Dell Windows XP machine, and I moved it to a Toshiba Windows 7 (64 bit) machine. I have always kept my photo files on an external hard drive. My photo library is 50GB, 10,000 files. Here is what I did.
Copied the original PE6 install file to the Toshiba. Installed but didn’t activate it.
Copied the entire My Catalog folder to the proper Windows 7 location.
Plugged the external drive into the Toshiba. Made sure the same drive letter as before (E).
Fired up PE6 on Toshiba. Looked good in Organizer. Everything seemed to be there, but I didn't try to make changes at that point.
Deactivated PE6 on the Dell. Activated on the Toshiba.
Then I realized that it is not right. I can edit Keywords and Rating stars on the pics, but not dates, captions or notes. I get “An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be problems with the source media.”
Only a fraction of the external drive is in use.
I can access the files on the external drive with another app (Windows Photo Viewer).
I tried Reconnect All Missing Files. Somewhat ambiguously, it says “There are no files to reconnect.”
In the properties in the Organizer for each picture are the proper file names and paths. Folder view works fine in Organizer.
I can put new files in the same external drive directories, import them into PE6, then edit them normally.
What is the easiest way to get Organizer properly connected to my files? I suppose I could reimport all the pics on the new machine, but I assume I'd lose some of my metadata. So that is out of the question.
Thanks,
Bill

Are you sure that file paths are correct? I say this because under XP they would have originally pointed to Documents & Settings/My Pictures whereas on W7 it will be User/Pictures, albeit you are using an external hd.
Take a look at this knowledge base note on the correct procedure for back-up and restore.
I think writing metadata to files for such a large catalog will be a thankless task.

Error -1 is not mentioned in this article about error messages during a restore process: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
This one comes close:
The device could not be restored. An internal error occurred, or Error 3200: This indicates a network-connectivity or traffic issue. If you see this error, wait an hour or more and try again.
You may also check your security software settings, to make sure that iTunes can contact Apple servers during this process: iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues

"An error occurred while restoring from the backup.Files can't be restored"

My 4 month old MacBook Pro 15" running 10.6.2 lobotomized itself and I had to have a new HD put in it. I backed up the old one w/ TM on an external HD. I've tried (by the book, and with direct verbal guidance from the Help People at Apple) to restore the system and files but every time it gets to 10.2% in the restoration process and then I get this message: "An error occurred while restoring from the backup. Please restart." and under the frozen progress bar is the chilling line: "Files can't be restored." I've tried restoring from several dates on the TM backup list but it always stops at 10.2% completion. Help!

Hi.
Start by booting from your SL install disc, and selecting Utilities from the menubar, but before going on to +Restore System from Backups,+ instead select +Disk Utility.+
Make +*absolutely certain+* that your internal HD has the GUID *Partition Map Scheme* and the +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+ Format (unless you're sure it should be +Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled).+
Then do a +*Repair Disk+* (not permissions) on your Time Machine drive.
If that succeeds, quit Disk Utility, then continue with the full restore (per #14 in the FAQ).
But if that finds errors it can't fix, it's possible that +Disk Warrior+ can fix them. It's about $100, and is probably a good long-term investment, but there's no guarantee.
If all else fails, go back to Disk Utility and erase your internal HD, then install OSX. When your Mac restarts, use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer your users, apps, settings, and data from your backups (see #19 in the FAQ).
Then download and instal the "combo" update to get back to 10.6.2. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 (or http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017 for 10.6.3).
Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility afterwards.
